The average urban EMS response runs 7–8 minutes. A handful of adhesive bandages does nothing for the injuries that actually kill in that window — arterial bleeds, sucking wounds, burns. The kit in the glovebox is usually built for paper cuts, not trauma.
If someone in front of you were bleeding out right now, would your kit carry the answer — or just a box of band-aids?
This kit closes that gap. It leads with the CoTCCC-recommended trifecta that addresses the leading cause of preventable traumatic death — a genuine North American Rescue C-A-T® tourniquet, kaolin QuikClot® hemostatic gauze, and a 6″ ETD™ pressure dressing — then layers in burn care, wound management, an airway-adjacent CPR barrier, eye shields, and the diagnostic tools to actually assess a patient. Twenty-seven genuine, manufacturer-sourced components in a case that still fits a cargo pocket.
Built To Treat, Not To Reassure
CoTCCC Hemorrhage Core
Genuine C-A-T® tourniquet (NAR-made, NSN 6515-01-521-7976), QuikClot® kaolin hemostatic gauze, compressed gauze, and a 6″ ETD™ pressure dressing — the interventions that stop preventable death.
Burn & Contaminated-Wound Care
BurnTec hydrogel dressing for thermal injury, plus Silver and Silverlon antimicrobial dressings, petrolatum gauze, and wound-closure strips for lacerations and abrasions.
Airway-Adjacent & CPR Barrier
A MicroShield CPR face mask for barrier-protected rescue breathing — capability most compact kits skip entirely.
Assessment & Diagnostics
Pen light for pupil and wound inspection, splinter forceps, a 10cc syringe for wound irrigation, and trauma shears for rapid clothing removal.
Genuine Components, No Substitutions
No budget knock-offs and no expired-grade fill. The C-A-T® is genuine North American Rescue, the hemostatic is current-spec kaolin — the exact items the data was built on.
Ultra-Compact, One-Handed Access
5″ × 3.5″ × 7.5″ at 1.35 lb in a MOLLE/PALS case with pull-tab access for retrieval under stress. Rides in a cargo pocket, glovebox, range bag, or flat on a carrier.

The Kit Is The System
Twenty-seven components only help if the right one reaches your hand first. This kit is curated and laid out so a responsible adult can move through assessment and intervention without hunting — but gear is only half of it. Pair the kit with formal bleeding-control training and rehearse the draw, and the capability becomes muscle memory instead of a sealed pouch you hope you never open.
Who Carries It
Prepared Households — a real trauma kit for the home — accidents, kitchen burns, power-tool lacerations, or worse.
Vehicle & EDC — glovebox, trunk, or headrest-mounted capability that travels with you.
Firearm Owners & Range-Goers — a dedicated point-of-wounding kit that isn’t buried under ammo and cleaning gear.
Trained Civilians & Off-Duty LE — a comprehensive compact kit to pair with bleeding-control training or carry as a plainclothes backup.
